The markup for the Arm CPU feature documentation is incorrect,
and results in the HTML not rendering correctly -- the first
line of each description is rendered in boldface as if it
were part of the option name.
Reformat to match the styling used in cpu-models-x86.rst.inc.

Mirror the properties for SVE. The main difference is
that any arbitrary set of powers of 2 may be supported,
and not the stricter constraints that apply to SVE.
Include a property to control FEAT_SME_FA64, as failing
to restrict the runtime to the proper subset of insns
could be a major point for bugs.

Add basic support for Pointer Authentication when running a KVM
guest and that the host supports it, loosely based on the SVE
support.
Although the feature is enabled by default when the host advertises
it, it is possible to disable it by setting the 'pauth=off' CPU
property. The 'pauth' comment is removed from cpu-features.rst,
as it is now common to both TCG and KVM.
Tested on an Apple M1 running 5.16-rc6.

In rST markup, single backticks `like this` represent "interpreted
text", which can be handled as a bunch of different things if tagged
with a specific "role":
https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#interpreted-text
(the most common one for us is "reference to a URL, which gets
hyperlinked").
The default "role" if none is specified is "title_reference",
intended for references to book or article titles, and it renders
into the HTML as <cite>...</cite> (usually comes out as italics).
To format a literal (generally rendered as fixed-width font),
double-backticks are required.
cpu-features.rst consistently uses single backticks when double backticks
are required; correct it.

Mirror the behavour of /proc/sys/abi/sve_default_vector_length
under the real linux kernel. We have no way of passing along
a real default across exec like the kernel can, but this is a
decent way of adjusting the startup vector length of a process.

The crypto overhead of emulating pauth can be significant for
some workloads. Add two boolean properties that allows the
feature to be turned off, on with the architected algorithm,
or on with an implementation defined algorithm.
We need two intermediate booleans to control the state while
parsing properties lest we clobber ID_AA64ISAR1 into an invalid
intermediate state.

The company 'Arm' went through a rebranding some years back
involving a recapitalization from 'ARM' to 'Arm'. As a result
our documentation is a bit inconsistent between the two forms.
It's not worth trying to update everywhere in QEMU, but it's
easy enough to make docs/ consistent.
Note that "ARMv8" and similar architecture names, and
older CPU names like "ARM926" still retain all-caps.
